Even tho my lil bro messes it up all the time! Yet my mother makes me clean! It’s not like she goes in there anyways! And when I do clean my room somehow it manages to get all messy AGAIN!
And I want to say ask why but I have done things like that before and she just gets all mad! I say, “Why do you care so much?”
And she’s just like, Blah blah blah blah *cuss* blah blah blah blahblah.
But obviously I was paraphrasing.

Sometimes we will clean it, but it only stays clean for awhile. We also have a bathroom in our room. We try to keep it clean in there too, but then clothes just end up on the floor as it does in our room. Me and my brother get up early around 6:00am in the morning to go to school, so we get ready, put our clothes on, and basically leave. My brother has extra curricular activities and I work a part time job, so we both don’t get home till about 9:30/10pm. When we get home, we eat, do our homework, then go to bed. We just don’t have time to fully clean our room. My mom makes a HUGE deal about it. She thinks we are the most un-clean people in the world. I don’t see it as being a big deal. I mean, our floor is covered with clothes, but why is she making this HUGE deal?? She acts like if it’s the end of the world and she has failed as a parent. When you are so busy, you don’t worry about the little stuff like that. Also, we have homework to do that is so much more important. She just freaks out about our room and it does get annoying.

Yes.
How clean or messy is it? How often do you clean it?
When I can’t stand it any longer.
Do you only clean your room because your parents make you?
Sometimes.
Do you agree with this article’s advice to parents that “The more you make [cleaning] an issue, the more you’ll prolong the problem” Why or why not?
Yes. That’s just how the human brain works. When someone tells someone else to do something, they don’t want to do it.
Do you agree with the article that sometimes teenagers don’t actually know how to pick up after themselves?
If their parents never taught them how to, or if your parents tell you to keep cleaning when it’s already clean, because it’s not to the parent’s standards.
What attitude do you wish your parents would take toward your private space? What advice would you have to give if you were interviewed for this article?
I’d tell parents to back off.

Its as if she thinks I like it that way! I’m always busy with homework and two sports going on.at the same time..
I wish she would offer to help me but she doesn’t .

Just today I moved my furniture around in my room. I the told my mom that used to never like being in my room because I was always stuck next to the wall. I put my bed in the middle of room. Now I never leave my room. I love it to much. I have never loved being in my room before and now I do.

Because even though sometimes I prefer other places, I do many things in my room. My room is sometimes clean, and sometimes beyond clean, And I clean my room at le every two weeks). I think that those articles would be quite offensive. And yes, I agree that sometimes teens dont know how to pick up themselves.Also yes, I sometimes which my parents saw the world like me, so my question to her would always be a yes.

No one can yell at me to pick it up because it is MY room. My room isn’t really clean but I can find all the things that I need. I clean my room whenever I have time, which isn’t often, because I’m usually busy and out of the house. When I get back, its very late and I am exhausted. At that point, I really dont care how clean my bed is; I just doze off. My parents yell at me to clean my room. They are constantly doing this. I usually try to clean it whenever I have lost something. Often, the lost thing is somewhere inside the big pile of clothes and books on my floor. I stop cleaning once I have found what i was looking for. I agree with the article, when it says “the more you make cleaning an issue, the more you’ll prolong the problem.” I agree because teenagers usually try to do the oppossite of what they are supposed to do. So, they just don’t bother to clean up after themselves. I also agree with the article when it says that sometimes teenagers don’t know how to pick up after themselves because sometimes when I try to clean my room I cant figure out where to start from. The mess is so big that I can’t figure out how to clean it. I agree with this also because teenagers are so immersed in thoughts about their future lives, personal and professional, that they are just too overwhelmed with small things that don’t really matter as much as their grades. I think that my parents shouldn’t care how neat or messy my room is because its my space. As long as I don’t extend my mess to somewhere they can see it (they usually don’t come to my room because it so far away from theirs- they think the walk won’t change how my room looks), I think that they should have no problem at all. If I was interviewed for this article, my advice would be that as long as the mess doesn’t eat anyone else’s stuff, that should be alright. But, as soon as it starts to grow, you can’t find your stuff, or it extends to the point that you can see it outside of your room, its time to get up off of the couch and start cleaning up that mess. Or as my mom likes to say: Go clean up after the tornado.
